This Is The Harassment Of Subway Passengers Liberals Want

Posted • December 28, 2024: As you know, progressives are very angry that Daniel Penny was acquitted in the death of beloved Michael Jackson impersonator Jordan Neely, whom he put in a chokehold after Neely threatened passengers on a subway car. They still believe Penny got away with the murder of a black man, even though if Neely hadn't been black this would never have made the news. We saw this video cross our timelines on Christmas Day, and we were appalled — by the video, not Libs of TikTok's comment: Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok: “I bet this couple wishes Daniel Penny was there.” -- Plain and simple — you shouldn't have to put up with this behavior on a subway car, and you shouldn't have to expect it either. Of course, the Neely apologists had to come out of the woodwork, with Briahna Joy Gray suggesting Libs of TikTok was advocating the man be strangled to death. -- Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy: “Is the argument that this man should be strangled to death?”

No. The argument is that people shouldn’t be harassed in public spaces. The argument is that people shouldn’t have to gamble with their lives whether some lunatic getting in their face and stealing their stuff is going to escalate to violence or not. You want less Jordan Neelys? Fix the system that lets them harass and threaten others unabated. Is your argument that people—women included—should have to deal with unrelenting harassment on public transport? He's committing criminal assault. He should be subjected to appropriate defensive force. That might include submitting him with a non-lethal rear naked choke. If he dies, he dies. At which point do we establish that a person has become a threat? Before or after they burn someone alive? Race: that’s all that you see. (…)
